I read the book “The Fault In Our Stars” during the Lunar New Year Holiday and I really like it. The main character of the story, Hazel Grace Lancaster has lung cancer and she needs to carry an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Frannie, the mother of the lead role, thinks Hazel is depressed because of the illness; consequently, she encourages Hazel to attend a cancer patient support group. Hazel meets Augustus Waters who lost a leg from bone cancer and they fall in love with each other.

Hazel Grace is a lucky girl. She was prepared to die at 14 because of the terminal thyroid cancer when she was a 12-year-old girl. Nonetheless, she is still alive when she is sixteen. I think the key which make Hazel survives is not only the treatment she receive, …show more content…

She is intelligent, kind-hearted and passionate. The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam doesn’t have any escalator thus all visitors have to visit there through stairs. Hazel struggles to climb the stairs of the house. I worry about Hazel’s health and I also wonder why doesn’t Augustus stop her. Soon I understand that Hazel wants to prove her ability. She doesn’t want people look down at her or sympathize her because of her illness. At the top of the house, Augustus and Hazel kiss with full of joy and they get the appreciation and applause of the fellow tourists. I think Augustus must be very proud of her girlfriend thus he kiss her. I am touched when I am reading this.

I have watched the movie based on the novel of the same name by the John Green, and I prefer reading the book than watching the movie as I found the movie is a little boring and it didn’t touched my heart. The novel describes the feelings of the characters in more detail and make I feel emotions about life. I can’t stop flipping and reading the novel as the storyline is interesting and it has an irresistible attraction to me. If you ask me to select the film or the novel alternatively, I probably choose the novel!

The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book that tells life, death and separation. You will feel for the characters, laugh with them, and sob for them. It is the first book that make me cry for the characters. I highly recommend this book to all of my friends
